The money tree was grown for many years, killed by a single pot of water, thrown out at the door, and came back to life

When it comes to growing plants, the first thing everyone thinks of is watering. Several friends around me were asked what the most important thing in growing plants is, and they said "watering." Although watering is indeed quite important, a few particular plants should avoid frequent watering, such as the money tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia). Too much watering will cause the money tree to die. The money tree originates from Africa and is a very drought-tolerant and shade-tolerant plant. Its own water-storage capacity is especially strong, and even going a month without watering is no problem.

So how often should the money tree be watered? Although the money tree is drought-tolerant, you should still pay attention to the frequency of watering. The specific watering should depend on the size of the pot and plant and the environment. The normal watering time for the money tree is when the leaves are slightly dry, as this is the best time to water. The amount of water depends on the soil in the pot and the size of the plant, watering an appropriate amount.

When cultivating the money tree, you should also pay attention to choosing a good soil medium. Some loose, breathable soil makes it easy to control moisture and facilitates the growth of the money tree's root system. When the root system grows well, the money tree will also grow quickly. Also, when growing the money tree, it is recommended to place it in a place with good ventilation and a suitable temperature. A ventilated place makes watering the money tree easier. If the environment is not ventilated and watering is not well controlled, it is easy to cause the root system to rot.

If there is insufficient light, it will also cause poor growth of the money tree. The money tree is a plant that is both shade-tolerant and fond of sunlight, but it dislikes direct sunlight. If exposed to direct sunlight, it will cause the leaves to be scorched. In summer, the money tree can be placed outdoors in the morning or evening for ventilation. In winter, we need to ensure the money tree is in a humid yet somewhat dry environment. If the temperature is too low, the money tree will drop its leaves and wither.

The money tree is a plant that likes fertilizer and has a very high demand for nutrients. In addition to putting a certain amount of fertilizer cake and compound fertilizer into the growing soil, during the growing season it also needs fertilizing two to three times a month. When fertilizing, mainly use potassium dihydrogen phosphate, especially after the beginning of spring when the weather gradually warms up, as the growth of new buds needs a large amount of nutrients supplied.

Compared with other green plants, the money tree is still relatively easy to grow. First, you do not need to pay excessive attention to watering. Throughout the year, apart from the growing season, watering once a month will still allow it to sprout. Fertilizer can be applied once every few months, but there must be enough of it. However, like other plants, the money tree needs its pot changed about every two days - in plain terms, replacing the soil. In two years, the money tree can completely absorb all the nutrients from the soil.
